Nice minbet.

Raise preflop, normal bet on flop?

in spots where i have absolutely zero fear of being outdrawn why not try to appear weak or allow my opponent to catch something?

yes traditional wisdom says the pot isnt as large early on, and this lowers my chance of winning a big pot, but i dont need to be able to protect my hand so is this much of a problem considering the nature of nl?

I raise preflop every time and bet the flop because I make a continuation bet close to 95% of the time. If he wants to make a move, that's cool with me; otherwise, I'm not going to totally change my playing style just because I hit the unbreakable nuts. There are no hands that can "catch up" here without having something on the flop (two pair, set, straight, some sort of weird draw), so ragdolling it really does nothing at all. The only hand that may not call the flop and would have something on any turn would be a lone club, and I'd think he would get really suspicious if you wake up after the fourth flush card hits--especially since the best he can hold here is the 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
